Freiraume Synopsis

English summary: The essays collected in this book are written from a phenomenological and hermeneutical perspective. As philosophical explorations they refer to subject matters given to perception and intuition, and their concepts are reflected within the interpretation of texts. The essays are devoted to three general themes. They consider the very possibility of philosophy by discussing, among others, questions of realism, of the formation of concepts, and of history. They also discuss works of art, mostly paintings and works of architecture. Lastly, they also explore the anthropological and ethical options for understanding human life. The essays are guided by the conviction that their subject matters can be clarified especially well by considering their spatial character. The philosophical clarifications themselves are situated within the free spaces opened up by their concepts and also by the subject matters.

German description: Die hier versammelten Texte sind aus phanomenologisch-hermeneutischer Perspektive geschrieben. Als philosophische Klarungen sind sie auf anschaulich gegebene Sachverhalte gerichtet, und ihre Begriffe werden in der Interpretation von Texten reflektiert. Die Beitrage sind drei Themenbereichen gewidmet. Sie erortern die Moglichkeit der Philosophie, u.a. indem sie Fragen des Realismus, der Begriffsbildung und der Geschichte nachgehen. Sie bedenken ausserdem Werke der Kunst, vor allem solche der Malerei und der Architektur. Und sie erkunden anthropologische und ethische Verstandnismoglichkeiten des menschlichen Lebens. Leitend ist dabei die Uberzeugung, dass die genannten Sachverhalte sich besonders gut aufschliessen, wenn man sie in ihrem Raumcharakter bedenkt. Dabei gehoren die philosophischen Klarungen in die Freiraume ihrer Begriffe und ebenso in die Freiraume, die ihnen von den zu klarenden Sachverhalten selbst gewahrt werden.
